The Surprise Visitor

Drum beating rhythmically, the small room shadowed in dark and candle flame. We all closed our eyes, allowing our minds to still, our breath to slow. Buh-boom, buh-boom, buh-boom. The gentle taps echoing against the stretched hide of the hand-held drum.

I sat, no longer in the small, dark room, but nestled among the roots of the great Yggdrasil. I sat, my spirit twined with those of the other participants, all of us connected — bound among the great ash tree of life, and as I sought wisdom and growth in my spiritual journey, I heard a voice.

Alicia.

My eyelids fluttered, but did not open.

Daughter.

My heart sped up as did my breath.

The voice, warm, like a mother’s that a babe in the womb hears. Gentle, ageless. Odin?

Guess again.

A hand was held out to me but I pulled back, gripping the rope-like root that had been my gentle swinging oasis moments earlier as a strange fear tightened my chest.
